Appellation: Rasteau AOC
Grape Varieties: 60% Grenache, 25% Syrah, 15% Mourvèdre
On another level, the 2021 Rasteau Vieilles Vignes (60% Grenache, 25% Syrah, and 15% Mourvèdre) offers a more concentrated, rich, layered profile that brings beautiful darker berry fruits, some classic Provençal garrigue and peppery notes, ripe tannins, and a great finish. This wonderfully complete, balanced, impressive 2021 will have a decade of longevity.
Score: 91-93 points -- Jeb Dunnuck, jebdunnuck.com, 2023
Food Pairing: A slow-braised daube provençale of beef, red wine and olives, or a wedge of aged Comté.
